Vibrational Lymphatic Massage
Did you know..that sound therapy can alleviate chronic pain from old injuries, migraines, and debilitating diseases? This course is to teach the massage therapist/bodyworker the basic knowledge of working with Tuning Forks, Essential Oils, and the Lymph System. We will use this knowledge of sound passing through objects and apply them to the use of Tuning Forks on our own bodies. Because our bodies are solid, sound waves pass through the skin, organs, tissues, right down to the very cells of our bodies. The first part of the class will include learning about the lymph system, sound therapy and essential oils. The second part of the class will be spent learning how to perform the session, which will start with opening up the Lymph Portals, followed by placement of select essential oils, and ending with using the Tuning Forks on the reflex points and acupuncture points of the body. Have a muscle that won't release with all the tools in your toolbox? Tuning Forks can penetrate to a deeper level and release the muscle for you. Help save your hands!
